[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1715593, member: 438800"] Quick reaction (I have read the entire thread but need to digest it better). I hate the word "mild" in any description of diabetes (of any type). I do clearly fit into their "mild" description because I am an entirely diet-controlled T2, not taking any drugs, and was never overweight or obese. However I do find it shocking to describe *any* form of diabetes as a "mild" disease. The diet change I made were dramatic and most non-diabetic people would consider them almost impossible, although now that more than a year has passed since my diagnosis, I realize it is not quite as hard as you might think. The lifestyle changes (stepped-up exercise, and much greater attention to regular checkups for eyes, feet, general condition) were -- for me -- anything but "mild." Edited to add: Considering the complications of uncontrolled diabetes, how can it ever be described as a "mild" condition? [/QUOTE]
